This data collection contains tables from the 1980 Census
of Population and Housing, which were tabulated for Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs), tracted portions of states
outside SMSAs, and the following SMSA components: counties, places
with 10,000 or more inhabitants, and census tracts. The tables
primarily contain sample data inflated to represent the total
population, plus 100-percent counts and unweighted sample counts of
persons and housing units. Tabulated population items include
household relationship, sex, race, age, marital status, Spanish
origin, education, nativity, citizenship, language spoken at home,
ancestry, children, place of residence in 1975, veteran status, work
disability status, labor force status, travel time to work, means of
transportation to work, industry, occupation, class of worker, income,
and poverty status. Tables of housing variables cover number of units
at address, presence of complete plumbing facilities, number of rooms,
tenure (whether owned or rented), vacancy status, housing unit value,
contract rent, units in structure, stories in structure and presence
of a passenger elevator, year structure was built, year householder
moved into unit, acreage, source of water, sewage disposal, heating
equipment, house heating fuel, water heating fuel, cooking fuel,
kitchen facilities, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, telephone
in housing unit, air conditioning, number of automobiles, vans, and
light trucks, and selected monthly owner costs (real estate taxes,
property insurance, utilities, and mortgage payments). Two series of
population and housing tables, A and B, are shown for each geographic
unit. The A tables are tabulated once for the total population, while
the B tables are repeated for the total population and up to six
different race and Spanish origin groups: (1) white, (2) Black, (3)
American Indian, Eskimo and Aleut, (4) Asian and Pacific Islander, (5)
other race, and (6) Spanish origin. The data for each state are
contained in a separate file. Altogether, 48 states and the District
of Columbia are represented in the collection.

This collection is incomplete. There are no data
for 2 states: Hawaii and Idaho. This collection will be updated in the future if these data are received.

Each table cell is
represented by a single variable in the data. The Population A,
Housing A, Population B, and Housing B tables comprise 5, 20, 11, and
8 records per case, respectively. Overall, there are 44 distinct
records which contain some 8,600 variables. The number of records per
case depends on the number of B table iterations. Cases with all six
race/Spanish origin iterations have the maximum number of records and
variables: 158 records and some 30,000 variables.

There are two components to the Census: a 100-percent
enumeration and a sample of approximately 19 percent of housing
units. Basic demographic information, such as age, sex, and race, was
collected from all persons and housing units. More detailed
information was collected from the sample of housing units.

2018-05-16 Data have been added for the following states: Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming. Filesets have been renumbered to include the newly added data. Fileset renumbering accounts for Hawaii and Idaho in the event these data are received in the future.
